Hi Marshall, I have watched this one a few times. I’m not good at math so I need to get it through my thick skull. FYI, when you are doing the pizza analogy the 15 degree angles are off beyond the 105 degree. cheers, brian

Hello fellow artist! My name is Brian and I am very excited to be in another class with Marshall. I bought Marshall’s online class from the 90’s and it helped me get through the pandemic. Although I learned a ton from the class, there is much that didn’t seep in and I’m ready to dive deeper Into perspective. I want to get better at seeing the structure of representational artwork and have a better grasp at composing. Perspective is foundational and here we go!

A couple of value studies using OLO Markers which I just got in the mail today. I got the Proko gray scale set. Very nice indeed!

I went back to the beginning and watched Stan do the blockin. My first pears were more rendered than what the assignment was asking for. It feels like I have the right idea.

I Just finished doing value studies based on the first value assignment, but this time I used a 5 value Copic marker set. Next, I will use just 4 values and have the 5th value be the white paper.

Some pre-demo pear drawings. A pair of them (no pun intended!) I look forward to watching the demo now and redoing one or both of them. I recognize that I need to work on sharpening my edges and not over rendering like I may have on these. I want to quicken my pace and stick to the 5 value limit.
